Report within 10 days of when you know your income goes over the limit. You may report changes to your eligibility worker by phone, letter, or a personal visit to a Public Assistance office near you. You may also report the change by completing a change report form and bringing it or mailing it to your local Public Assistance office.

There are penalties for not reporting this change or giving false information, including having to repay the benefits you got in error. You may also be prosecuted for fraud and disqualified from receiving Food Stamps.

If you receive benefits from Temporary Assistance, Adult Public Assistance, Medicaid, and Denali KidCare programs, the reporting requirements are different.
